Procedure when connecting a battery pack to the charger:
1. First connect the charging cable to the two 4 mm round sockets of the charging output. Ensure correct polarity
(red cable = plus/+, black cable = minus/-).
The charging cable must not be connected to the rechargeable battery yet! There may be a short-circuit
of the charger plugs; there is a danger of fire and explosion!
2. If you want to connect a multiple-cell lithium rechargeable battery to the charger, the enclosed balancer board
can be used for the balancer plug of the rechargeable battery. Connect the balancer board to the corresponding
socket of your charger.
3. Connect the charging cable to the rechargeable battery now. Ensure correct polarity (red cable = plus/+, black
cable = minus/-).
4. If the lithium rechargeable battery has a balancer cable, connect it to the corresponding connection of the bal-
ancer board. Always observe the proper shape of the socket and plug on the balancer board and rechargeable
battery. Do not use any force for plugging in!
Proceed in the following steps when disconnecting a rechargeable battery:
1. If you have connected a lithium rechargeable battery with a balancer cable to the charger/balancer board,
disconnect it from the charger/balancer board.
2. Disconnect the charging cable from the rechargeable battery.
3. Last disconnect the charging cable from the charger.
Always proceed in this order!
The rechargeable battery must always be disconnected from the charging cable (and from the balancer
board for lithium rechargeable batteries) first. Only then must the charging cable be disconnected from
the charger.
Any other order poses danger of short circuit by the two round plugs of the charging cable connected to
the rechargeable battery, as well as danger of fire and explosion!
